Description

I've strayed away from my gloomy and melancholic styles for this piece, dipping into the fantastical and the bright and bold colour I usually neglect to paint.

This is a present to my parents. To hang in the dining room. My mother loved an older painting of mine and has kept requesting it in print, however I dispair to look at it, and so I have painted a new one. Just in time for Christmas.

This piece also holds a lot of personal thoughts and emotions for me. I have let go of a lot of what has been on my shoulders.

Reference was used for the birds from books, magazines and google. I also studied quite a few masks, especially those that are worn in the Venice Masquerade. The pose was inspired by a photo I had saved to my harddrive. Oh, and the bird cage was referenced from another photo I'd saved.

Photoshop CS2.
As always, please tell me how this makes you feel.

The colors are awesome be that it may it is a little dark which is not necessarily a bad thing. The lighting is awesome i like how it looks like there is a candle or something in the corner or a light in the distance. The detail of the feathers is so lush that it's like you can almost feel the feathers if you were to touch your computer screen...god that sounded so corny! Anways awesome work!
10/10
